** Description changed: Binary package hint: xorg Downloaded Feisty Herd 5 desktop x86 image, checked hash, burned and verified a cd. The testing machine is a laptop: Dell Inspiron 6400, an Intel Core 2 Duo with a Radeon Mobility X1400 and 1280x800 widescreen display. Launching the Live CD, at the end of the boot process a dialog box says that gdm cannot start, and the boot ends with console login. The error message after a startx is: (EE) VESA(0): No matching modes (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration. - The solution is editing xorg.conf and adding "HorizSync 36-52" and - "VertRefresh 36-60" in "Section Monitor". Giving a startx, the desktop - appears with normal resolution for the vesa driver (cannot use radeon - driver on this machine). + The solution is editing xorg.conf and adding "HorizSync 36-52" and "VertRefresh 36-60" in "Section Monitor". Giving a startx, the desktop appears with normal resolution for the vesa driver (cannot use radeon driver on this machine). + Also, a sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, even accepting all default choices, solves the problem. This appears a minor bug, but a non-geek user would have troubles debugging it. Also, Feisty Herd 3 and 4 went straight to the desktop, so this is a regression from older releases
